backlit, build loads of spoooooky LED eyes to hide around the place.

Got a video of the PIR Pumpkin circuit. I might nip in over the weekend to
actually implant it into one of the pumpkins.

If anyone has any other photos or videos from last night, post them here, as
i’m writing a blogpost.On 24 October 2011 14:21, Amran amx109@gmail.com wrote:
